GUEST,Joe_F Bawdy Matty Groves? (37) RE: Bawdy Matty Groves? 07 Feb 06


Leslie Fish has a satire called "Manly Man Matty Groves", whose language, if not exactly bawdy, is rather blunt, not to say tart:



[...]



Lord Arlen was a manly man, as ever voiced a curse.

He learned that Matty screwed his wife, and swore to screw him worse.



Matty Groves was a manly man, with balls to split his pants, sirs,

When caught in bed with Arlen's wife, he gave him snappy answers.



[...]



Now where was Arlen's wife through this? She stayed beneath the covers,

And watched the fight, and did her nails, while Arlen killed her lover.



She never thought to run and hide, nor did she make excuses,

She said the one thing guaranteed to make Arlen blow his fuses.



[...]



It's in _The Incomplete Leslie Fish_ (Rune Press, 2001).
